EDIT: I'm in New Jersey, United States For the past six months I worked as a receptionist at my local gym, recently I started cycling, and shortly after I was hit by a car. I suffered a lot of bruising, scrapes, and a busted knee along with my bike being pretty fucked up; This happened on 4/13/23. As soon as I got settled, I called out of work, which was met with some sympathy. Between 4/13/23 and 5/10 I took off a significant amount of time to rest, recover and recoup along with going on a weekend away that was already planned before this incident. When I went to work on Tuesday (5/10) I was handed a termination letter and was subsequently fired for my “unreliability” due to taking time off from the accident. When I brought up my car accident, my manager was incredibly dismissive and just didn't care.…

I learned today that my corrupt, multi hundred million dollar company has had a genuine sewer gas leak for 8 months that hasn’t been fixed. I sit in this office every day. I’ve been okay, but some people have gotten sick or experience issues at work. I don’t even know if it’s at dangerous levels (not that any sewer gas leak is ok) or what. This is on top of the filthy, stained carpet, excessive mold and dust, and bathrooms with boogers stuck to the walls. I don’t know if this is dangerous to my health in the long run.

Hi everyone, I’ve posted on here before about this coworker of mine, and today is really just the final straw. I’m really thinking about putting in my two weeks notice because of it. This job has not been good for my mental and physical health because of it, and I can’t take it. Today, my coworker, who has some authority over me, got on me about not getting everyone to sign another coworker’s birthday card. She’d asked me if I’d gotten everyone to sign, and I said yes, because I didn’t know how many people were attending this party/meeting. I’d gotten a lot of signatures already, so if I missed a few it wasn’t the end of the world. She got on me today about how I tell her “the opposite of the truth” and how it’s important that I had everyone sign the card. She even told me she…

I work in insurance and financial services. Recently, most of our business logins are moving to Two Factor Authentication for logins. I am refusing to to use my personal device for TFA for numerous reasons- my phone is not company property, my company is not compensating me for my phone and its also not appropriate to have logins, and customer data accesibility, on non company systems. So far it hasnt been a issue- most carriers and sites let you use email as one of the options for 2FA. However, two carriers are implementing it and they are only letting us verify with a text message or a authenticator app on a personal phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Sort of a technical situation for this forum, but I realllllly do not want my company clawing access to my personal device. I have been down that road at a previous employer…
